Coauthored with CcaM'ers Jochen Peter, Rinaldo Kuhne, Chiara de Jong, and Alex Barco, Caroline and her CcaM colleagues conducted an exploratory study with 87 children (aged 7 to 11 years) to explore whether children distinguish between technological and interpersonal trust when it comes to relationships with social robots. Results suggest that children do indeed distinguish between these forms of trust, and go beyond this well. Interested to learn more?
